After three years of intense study, five dedicated students were the first to graduate with the BSc (Hons) in Primary Dental Care from the University of Kent's Division of Dentistry. Dental nurse Trudie Dawson and dental hygienists Jacqueline Falade, Julie Mann, Nicky Gough and Sue Bagnall graduated in Rochester Cathedral in July (pictured).

The University of Kent is currently working on a postgraduate programme due to launch for 2013.
